Jalapeño Popper Dip

The start of football season - the search for new snacks & recipes get revved up as well. I'd been saving this recipe I saw in various places over the summer. It could be part of my new goto dip recipes. It was yum! with just the right kick! Give it a try!

Jalapeño Popper Dip

Ingredients
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can chopped green chilies, drained (4oz)
1 can diced jalapeño peppers, drained (4oz)
1/2 cup shredded Mexican style cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an oven safe serving dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Using an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
3. Stir in green chilies, jalapeno peppers and Mexican and mozzarella cheeses. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
4. Mix together the Panko and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the cream cheese mixture.
5. Spray the Panko and Parmesan with a quick spray of non-stick cooking spray.
6. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the mixture is hot and the topping is lightly browned.

Serve dip with French bread, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, crackers, etc....

Hmmm... wonder if I can make this with all of my little hot red peppers from the farm? I don't know exactly what kind they are.
